Dillon Danis first made a name for himself within the world of mixed martial arts as the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach to UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Now the grappling ace is set to make his own big MMA debut.
Dillon Danis has a hefty background in BJJ, but has yet to step inside the cage as a mixed martial artist. Having locked down a fight contract with Bellator MMA, the grappler is now set to make his big debut on the highly anticipated fight card of Bellator 198.
Danis will be facing off against Kyle Walker for the fight. Walker is 2-3 in his MMA career and will also be making his Bellator debut.
The event goes down April 28 inside the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Check out Danis and Walker’s big staredown at the recent ceremonial weigh-ins down below:
